Does every freshman start with the same classes?

<p>help! im trying to figure out what classes are gonna be thrown at me first.</p>

<p>No. Each freshman has a choice of a WIDDDEEEE range of classes. You'd be hard pressed to find two freshman with the exact same classes, and even if they do, they probably have different professors. You'll probably get a good sense of which classes you'll be taking at summer advising. Around a month or two before school starts.</p>

<p>No, not everyone starts out with the same classes. However if you are in a sciences major, you may have some of the same classes. For example most freshmen take calculus and general chemistry their first year. Other majors (I think) have a much broader range of classes that are taken in their first year. However, there are MANY different humanities and social sciences classes that one would not even have thought of in high school.
All of this will become very clear during summer advising. definetely go!
GO AGS!</p>

<p>Not everyone has the same classes. Like goags said, if you are a science person or some engineering majors.. you'll be taking calc, gen chem, & physics. For me it was chem, math, physics for my first 2 years.</p>

<p>If you look at the course catalog for majors you're interested in, you'll see the list of required classes & so for your first few quarters you should try & satisfy those requirements so that when you decide on a major you'll already have those done. If you flake off your first few quarters taking fun classes to 'explore your options', you'll in many cases be sticking around in Davis as a 5th year student because it put you behind. A lot of classes are only offered once per year so it's beneficial to plan out what to take which quarter to balance out your course load & get out in a timely manner.</p>

<p>(I can think of one person I knew that is in his 3rd year and only takes the courses that happen to be offered, he doesn't plan it out. As a result, he hasn't finished all the classes a 2nd year with his same major has completed)</p>
